We use to do this with our Kitchen table and chairs.  We made 1 table with 4 to 6 chairs.  One object file, but kept the chairs separate groups so they could manipulate the chairs according to their liking.  Also, this way they can load the whole set, but choose if they only wanted 3 chairs visible they could make 3 chairs invisible, easy to use.  This would be loaded into the Figures library because it would look at it as a poseble figure, one main parent (the table) with 4-6 sub groups that were the chairs.  I do all this in UV mapper to group things, but the cr2 file could be manipulated so they were individual chairs.....does that make sense to you?  Sharen
